NorfolkNChance Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Pretty much every forest player in this team, they were outstanding that day. Roy, Stone, Collymore , Woan and Bohinen were unplayable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) I'll always remember Gascoigne and Lineker taking us to pieces at Hillsborough .. must have been 1990 before Gazza did his knee. Edited May 14, 2018 by Vaughan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatfordOwl Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Michael Owen out there on his own. He was just unplayable before his injuries and we never handled him well at all. Dare I say it...............Stuart Pearce when we went down in 1990 scored 2 crackers against us...........hate him and is thumbs up run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlOnWheels Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Like many, the Michael Owen hat-trick stands out in my memory. Totally unplayable, such a shame the injuries ruined him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizzard1867 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The top five has to include World Cup Winner Jurgen Klinsmann Scored in front of the Kop on his Spurs debut I believe. His movement was a different class from what I recall that day. And that dive. I was furious and impressed at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Ruud Gullit - total master class playing centre back!! Ali Bernabia - Man City - looked 5 levels above everyone else Adam Johnson - early boro years - no one got near him that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Players that always seemed to put the fear of god into me whenever we came up against them... Kanchelskis Ian Wright Lee Chapman (serious.

It’s when Duberry was just starting for them I think Gullit was a sweeper old fashioned style and just looked like he was playing against 5 year olds I was only a teenager and thought how good must he have been at his prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNChance Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Gullit played the sweeper/Libero role for Chelsea most of his time there tbh. Was rumoured to be his favoured position as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardsley always impressed, for Toon or Liverpool. Klinnsman wasn't too bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my other top three individual performance would be a young Michael Owen's hat trick and superb performance in a 3-3 draw and Jordan Rhodes Huddersfield performance and 4 goals in that 4-4 draw - sensational. Not sure of 1 to 3 order though. UTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson should never have played and if I remember rightly he was taken off at half time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
